I'm completely new to the Linux OS, and the Server Edition of Ubuntu.
I'm trying to install the software for the Linksys WMP54G PCI Adapter, and I don't know how to even try to install it. Is there a command to install from a cd, or something like that?

You may not need to install any software, with luck your device should be detected and the driver loaded already. Could you paste the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

The above command will list your network devices and whether they are detecteded properly and if the drivers have been loaded.

If at all possible I would suggest a wired connection as you won't be very happy with the file transfer speeds using wireless.
